Dr Xiao saw a beautiful lady who was sitting on the floor in front of his door. She was dozing, hugging her knee, head resting on her knee, hair covering her face, and her black hat on her head, in a scarlet bodycon dress. Almost, all of her body parts were revealing.

At the first glimpse, he knew, who was it even without seeing her face. It was the person, with whom, he neither wanted to meet or see nor wanted to be seen.

When he was about to go away, he took off his long sleeve blazer and hushedly covered her body.

It was November 5th, the winter was starting, due to which, the season was cold. As a doctor, he was somehow worried for her that she might catch a cold and become sick. After all, it was midnight.

When he was about to walk away inaudible, she woke up just at the moment. She noticed that her body was covered by a warm cloth.

She tries to look up and saw a familiar figure in front of her. Her vision was a blur at first cause of waking in the mid of her sleeping. As he rubbed her eye, her vision was becoming clearer.

She saw a breathtaking handsome face, the face she has been longing to see for many years. He looked the same even after all this year. The only difference was, he was taller than before.

Tears took the place in her eye, a smile on her lips, joyous in her face.

"Xiao Lei?" She immediately got up from the floor and blocked his way "Xiao Lei! Wait, Don't go."

Dr Xioa's height was taller than her, so she had to look up.

She was gazing at him very closely. It was like a dream to her, a dream from which, she wished to never woke up. She felt like, she saw this handsome face after centuries.

His voice was cold as the winter season "Get out of my way?" He wasn't looking at her, not even once.

"Xiao Lei! Do you not recognize me? I'm Nuo, Yang Nuo." She tried to explain but notice that he wasn't looking at her even once "Xiao! Why aren't you looking at me? Look at me, for even once, please... Xiao Lei..."

Xiao Lei was looking straight with a cold face, "Why are you here?"

"I... I..." There was a hint of sadness on her face but still, she smiled like a silly "I came to fetch you to home, Xiao. Let's go back."

"Home?" There was no emotion in his eye "Yang Nuo, I don't have a home. I never had. The only home I had was——" He clenched his fist, trying to calm down "...Go back."

"No! I won't. I've finally found you after five years and saw your face after 9 years. Do you even realize, how much I wanted to see you? Do you even realize, how I wished to be by your side? Do you even realize, how——" She broke into tears "Why are you being so cold as if I'm nobody? Why are you acting like, I don't even exist in your world?"

Yang Nuo was heartbroken. It took almost 5 years to search his location and saw his face after 9 years.

Her lips trembling, teary eyes, heavy breath, she said "Whenever I used to find your location, I came running by just to find out that, you already had left with everything as if you didn't exist, to begin with, just like the day you left. I was scared that, you might have already left just like every time and you're——" she couldn't utter the word.

"You should go back." Xiao Lei turns around and unlocks the lock to his door. He opened and was about to enter but paused his step at mid-air "Your leg, be sure to treat it."

Xiao Lei went to his room and closed the door, Yang Nuo was standing outside in a daze.

Yang Nuo was feeling both sad and happy at the same time by Xiao's action. He was cold and gentle at the same time, just like she first met him.

She was happy by his word, she was glad that even just a little bit, he was worried about her.

She slightly bends her back and saw the bruises on her leg.

~It must be when I had slipped into the floor.~

The Long sleeve blazer which Xiao Lei had covered around her body when she was dozing, falls on the floor.

She carefully grabs by her slender hand near her face, the aroma coming through his blazer was alluring.

~Even when you act cold, you still get worried about others. That's your strength and weakness at the same, Xiao. You're very kind.~

She was feeling weak all over her body, dizzy, nausea, in her head.

Before she realized it, she collapsed on the floor.

~At morning~

The morning cool and gentle breeze touched her soft, smooth cheek, opened her eye slow and steadily, stretches her hand, letting out her yawn.

She took a deep breath and glanced around. It was an unfamiliar place ~Where am I?~

Her delicate leg touched the floor softly and noticed that she was wearing the same dress, as last night and her wound were bandaged very nicely.

The lovely smile took place on her soft lips "Thank you, Xiao Lei."

Growl!!

Her stomach produced a rumbling sound due to hunger "Awww... I'm so hungry "

She remembered that, as soon as she got the text from Huang Cheng, she hadn't eaten anything since, even before that.

She came out of the bedroom and notice that there were about two rooms (a bedroom with an attached bathroom and kitchen) with a living room.

She walked straight to the kitchen and opened the fridge just to discover an empty fridge with nothing, not even mineral water.

Yang Nuo frown "What? Nothing?" she was upset and concerned "Is Xiao even eating?"

~~Gr~~o~~w~~ll~~

She touched her stomach "I'm... I'm so hungry."

"Here's the breakfast!!"

"Agh!!!" She was startled to hear the sound out of blue "W-Who?"

She turns back and recognized that it was Xiao Lei "X-Xiao!?" She was embarrassed "Well... I... I... that..." She was nervous and panicked seeing Haru.

Xiao Lei was calm "How are you feeling?"

Yang Nuo instantly looked at Xiao Lei, she felt warm in her heart by his word. She smiled and nodded her head "Umm... I'm good. It's all thanks to you. Thank you for looking after me and sorry for troubling you."

Xiao Lei sat on the small round, high, dining table, with only two chairs. "Sit down and eat it."

Yang Nuo quickly nodded her head, sat on the chair, facing him. She blushed and she was honestly shy to face him.

Her heart beating fast ~Ba-Dump! Ba-Dump! Ba-Dump!~

Xiao Lei served the breakfast on the two plates for him and Yang Nuo.

Half-boiled Omelet, Rice and tossed salad. All of them were healthy food.

Nuo's face was burning hot. She bites her lower lips trying to control her emotion.

"Xiao... I'm really happy that you still remembered my favourites dishes." She was honestly joyous, pleased, and delighted.

"Eat it!! I just brought the healthy food for you since you're weak right now." He poured a glass of green vegetable juice for both of them.

Yang Nuo nodded her head like an obedient kid "Of course!!"

Yang Nuo was eating cheerfully. She glanced at him and called his name "Xiao!" But didn't got a reply "You know, I feel warm and contented from the bottom of my heart." She grins "I'm glad, you finally looked at me."

Xiao Lei was still quietly eating his breakfast.

"I feel like, I'm over the moon right now. When I woke up in the morning and saw myself in your bedroom," Her face turns red "I was on cloud nine."

Her lovely gaze falls on him with affection in her eyes "I still love you, Xiao Lei. I've always been loving you. Always!"

The word she had been longing to put on her lips were finally on it.
